Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
It was a fine Saturday morning at Karakura town; some people are still in bed, some people are off to work, and some are going for a walk, etc. It was 6:59 am. The sun that had just came up from the horizon glinted its sunlight all over town, casting shadows and flashing to or through the glasses on houses or buildings. The wind breezed through the town and at exact 7 am in one of the rooms of the Kurosaki household, an alarm clock blared out loudly. Kurosaki Ichigo jumped out of bed and then shut the blaring clock before rushing to the bathroom for a five-minute bath.
After that, Ichigo puts on his first best suit (white tee, skinny black denim jeans, and blue vans shoes) and he went down to make himself breakfast and because of the feet thumping loudly around the house; the youngest of the Kurosaki awoke. "Why are you up so early on a Saturday morning, Ichi-ni?" Yuzu asked when she got down to the dining table to see their brother eating his breakfast like a hungry wolf whose never been fed.
Ichigo glanced at Yuzu and gulped down half of the water in the glass before he said with a frown,"I gotta meet up with Byakuya at Urahara's." Ichigo stood up to deposit his plate and glass at the sink to wash them. A question mark appeared on Yuzu's head as she ask with curiosity, "Why so?" Yuzu sat on one of the chairs and propped her elbow at the table for her palm to meet her cheek as she waited for her brother's answer.
"We have something to talk about." Ichigo said and flicked his wet hands at the sink, finished with washing his utensils.
Yuzu grinned and tapped her free finger at the table."Is it something about Rukia-neechan?" Ichigo slightly slipped on a rug because of what Yuzu inquired, said girl gasped then exclaiming.
"It is!"
"What's going on here?" the two turned to Karin who just walked in, yawning.
Yuzu beamed at her sister."I think Ichi-ni is going to propose to Rukia-nee!"
"Really?" the sleepiness on Karin's face was gone and was replaced with excitement.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah~! Tell us, Ichigo, tell us! Hurry up-!"
The orange head teen threw a chair at his noisy father to shut up him. "You already know, you moron!"
"So?" the twins asked their older brother in unison. Ichigo looked at them, scratching the back of his head while looking at the floor.
He sighed, feeling his blood bubbling up his cheeks. "Yeah, I am going to propose to Rukia."
Isshin jumped in front of his son and tapped both of his pinkish cheeks. "Aww. Is my only son blushing?"
"Am not." grumbled Ichigo as he smacked his father's hand away.
"Otou-san, Ichi-ni is going to be late for their meeting because of you." Yuzu said, preparing their breakfast.
"All right," Isshin laid a hand on Ichigo's shoulder as tears started falling out of of his eyes. "Do your best, Ichigo, that damn Byakuya knows you're the one for her sister slash my soon to be daughter-in-law." Isshin said the last part in a serious yet hilarious way.
"Whatever." Ichigo said even though he believed what his goofy father said, the strawberry grabbed his stuff from his room before going down to his car and dashed like a jet.
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah
Ichigo knocked on the front door of Urahara Shouten while forming a plan in mind on how to ask the 6th squad captain a or the question. He held a medium size chappy doll and a heart-shaped box (inside are bunny shaped chocolate and white cookies) that he bought last weekend and forgot to give it to his violet eyed girl. "My, my, Kurosaki-san, you sure are early." the owner of the store said, hiding his grin behind his white little fan and slid the door wider for the strawberry to come in.
"Shut up, Urahara-san."
Urahara lead Ichigo to the room where the emotionless noble is. "Good luck!" Urahara whispered to Ichigo before sliding the door shut. Ichigo quietly breathed in and out then sat down across from Byakuya, a table is only between them and also two cups of hot tea. The silence was deafening, Ichigo was scowling hard at the noble while said noble has his arms crossed and eyes closed.
Byakuya opened his eyes and looked at the cup of tea before grabbing it to have a sip, Ichigo roughly yet gently seized his cup and drank half of it. Grey eyes narrowed at the Substitute Shinigami with a look that says, 'Fool.' Because the shinigami-daiko can hide how badly his tongue was burning with a scowl. Byakuya gracefully placed down the cup and closed his eyes then crossed his arms again.
"Start talking, Kurosaki Ichigo, what did you want to talk about?" After a heavy silence, Byakuya finally spoke and opened his eyes to glare at the kozo across the table; grey orbs clashed with chocolate orbs.
The chocolate eyed teen clenched his jaw while he watched the grey eyed noble sipping on the cup of tea, Ichigo sighed inwardly. 'It's now or never..' he thought. "I know you're an old-fashioned man but I don't give a shit about that so I'll cut to the chase, I'm going to propose to her." he said, almost not breathing.
"To whom?" Byakuya ask, wishing the name of his sister is not gonna come out of the strawberry's mouth.
Ichigo was about to sarcastically retort at Byakuya but thought otherwise. "To Rukia." he said properly.
The Kuchiki gracefully choked on his drink and set the cup down the table then composed himself before asking, "Come again?"
'Is this noble for real?' Ichigo thought with an inward roll of his eyes and said, "I said, I'm. Going. To. Propose. To. Rukia." He emphasized every word that he said with determination and passion, yet with clear annoyance because of the black haired noble's actions.
Byakuya gave Ichigo a cold glare."I'm not a retard, kozo, you don't need to emphasize it."
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'
Ichigo snorted. 'Well you sure act like one.' The kozo's shoulders went up as a shrug, "So, can I have your sister for the rest of my life?" he asked.
'Say yes, you stuck up ass noble, say yes! I need to know, damnit!' Ichigo thought, anxiously.
"You'll never get my blessings 'til the day you die." Byakuya stated with seriousness.
'Then let me kill myself now..'
"The hell?" Ichigo yelled, slamming both hands on the table to push himself up a bit.
Byakuya sipped on his cup of tea again before saying, "Tough luck, kozo, but the answer is 'NO.'" he said, emphasizing the last word with a hint of arrogance in his stoic voice.
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
"Why do you have to be so rude, Byakuya?" Ichigo questioned and sat down, annoyance showing up his face, clearly pissed off by this arrogant noble.
The 6th squad captain narrowed his eyes dangerously at the substitute shinigami. "Aren't you the rude one here, Kurosaki Ichigo?"
"Apparently, no."
Byakuya's left eye twitched a bit when he heard the answer, Ichigo inwardly grinned as he can see that the cold noble is losing his cool. "How arrogant of you, I'll definitely never give you my blessings."
'Wait, so you do want to give me my blessings? Argh!'
"You already said that, dumb- I mean, I'll marry her anyways." Ichigo said with confidence that made Byakuya raised an eyebrow.
"What makes you think Rukia will say 'yes?'" Byakuya inquired.
"Simple, she feels the same way and I know we're ready; we protect each other side by side, she has my back and I have hers. I'll save her when she's in trouble, everyone knows that and this, she'll do the same for me because we risk each other's lives to be with each other. To be with the ones we love. We have a bond that will never break because we are connected from the very beginning, even if our minds forget it we know that in our heart and soul we will remember each other and we will be joined together as always. Nothing can keep us apart, not even you nor anyone else in this world or in any other," Ichigo pauses not knowing where this was coming from, "And I'll marry Rukia, I'll marry that girl who keeps me alive even if she's the death of me; even if she has a way of annoying the shit out of me, I'll marry her anyway. I'll marry that girl who makes me smile and gives me a ray of light, no matter what you say I'll marry Rukia and we'll be a family. So, why you gotta be so rude Byakuya?"
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Said man flared his reiatsu a bit and lowered it, Byakuya pinches the bridge of his nose before saying. "Fine..."
Ichigo's eyes widen and his lips twitched upwards. "Really-?" He stopped himself when Byakuya raised a hand.
"Let me finish."
Ichigo half frowned and smiled then listened attentively to every word that the noble is about to let out. "Later at the Kuchiki Mansion, there's a party, some members of the Four Noble Houses are attending. Noble men are going to find noble women to be their bride," Byakuya paused and Ichigo doesn't like the last part but Byakuya continued."Attend there, Kurosaki Ichigo, to prove if you are really worthy for my sister's hand or she will be married off to a noble."
'It sounds to me like you want Rukia for me and not to some noble ass guy.'
Byakuya sighed and spoke again. "I hate to do this but you leave me no choice, are you going or not Kurosaki Ichigo?"
"Can't live without her, man, of course I'm going." Ichigo pitched a wide grin at the noble.
"Very well," the grey eyed Kuchiki stood up. "Be there at the sixth of the evening, I'll be seeing you." Byakuya said and opened a Senkaimon, before he can step in Ichigo called out his name so he turned to the kozo.
"I almost forgot," Ichigo said and stood up to hand Byakuya the chappy doll and heart-shaped box."It's for Rukia, I forgot to give them to her last weekend."
Byakuya nodded and stepped in the Senkaimon, Ichigo waited for the gate to close before he grinned in victory and pumped his fist. 'Yosh,' He said in his mind as a picture of the little woman he love so much appears, 'Rukia.. you idiot.'
"With that look in your eyes, I can tell you're thinking about Kuchiki." the strawberry's head turns aside to see the Goddess of Flash.
"Did you hear everything since I got here?" Ichigo raises an eyebrow when the blonde shop owner entered the room.
Urahara whipped his white fan in front of his mouth. "Why, we don't do such things Kurosaki-san."
"Tell that to the wall." scoffed Ichigo.
"So what are you going to wear?" Yoruichi asked, leaning her back on the wall.
Ichigo rubbed a finger on his right cheek and dumbly asked. "Erm... What should I wear?"
Urahara unwhipped his fan. "Try wearing swimming trunks."
"Start suggesting normally or I will punch you.."
The purple haired woman slapped her partner upside on the back of his head and put an arm on Urahara's head. "Wear a kimono, baka."
"Hell, how should I know." And after saying that, Ichigo received a hard chop on the head courtesy of the Goddess of Flash.
"Don't worry, Ichigo, we're here to help you." she asserted.
"Including us!" Yuzu, Karin, Isshin, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Cloud, Nova, and Kon suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
"Ichigo, you traitor!" Kon cried.
"Hey, no-!" Ichigo yelled when his father suddenly bear hugged him. "Gah! Stupid goat chin, stop it!"
Poor Isshin laid on the ground after getting his son's feet on his face, Ririn poked Isshin's forehead. "Is he still alive?" she asked.
"Tch!" Ichigo clicked his tongue, "So where can I buy a kimono?"
"Obviously, in a store.." Isshin said, still laying on the ground but now on his back. A vein popped out of Ichigo and he snatched his cup of tea then splashed it at his father's face before heaving the cup at him, it hit Isshin square on the forehead.
"Don't worry, Ichigo, we got someone who can make hundreds in five minutes." Urahara said and a familiar Quincy strode in the room.
"Ishida?!" Ichigo exclaimed while pointing at his frenemy.
Ishida slapped Ichigo's hand away. "Don't point, Kurosaki, it's very rude and be grateful that I'm here to help your sorry ass." he said and pushed up his glasses that glinted by the light.
"I don't need help from some four-eyed sewing Quincy!"
"Don't worry, Kurosaki-kun, I'll help Ishida!" Inoue popped to Ishida's side.
Ichigo sighed and face palmed but then, he probably need some help at this; because he, admit it or not, he is quite a dummy on things like this. "Fine, fine." he said and he was suddenly being measured by Ishida for just one minute.
"What color do you want, Kurosaki?" Ishida ask, scribbling something on his notepad with a pen. The others on the background are preparing the things that are needed.
'It would be better if Rukia and I were partners, I wonder what she would wear?' Ichigo thought for a minute and an idea of working Ishida off his ass comes to his mind. "Make everything you think of, about twenty kimonos then we'll see if any of them is okay with me."
Ishida noded and flashed to another room as the others were in the same room with Ichigo, they all sensed a hollow. "I'll get it, I need some exercise." the strawberry said and stamped his Shinigami Badge to his chest then he popped out of his body.
"Wanna show Rukia-chan some abs-?!" Ichigo quickly cast something hard at Isshin before he flash step away with a red face.
'Stupid old man!'
